If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
