What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
