Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences.
