Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
