Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
