If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
