Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
