What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
