What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
