The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be 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 time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
