The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Fairfield building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
