Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified 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. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
