Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
