What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
