Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
