What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
