What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
