What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
