What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
