It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
