The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
