Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
