The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
