Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
