Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Fairfield building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
