The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
