What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
