If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
