The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
