The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
