What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
