The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate 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 and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
