Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
