Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
