Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
