What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
