What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
