The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
