The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
