Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
