If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
