Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
