Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
