Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
