The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
