The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
