What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
