What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
