If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
