Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
