If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed 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, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
