The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
