What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check 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 due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
