Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
