Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
