What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek 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 cost of removal.
