What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
