Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
