Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
