Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
