If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
