If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
