What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
