Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
