The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
