Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
