Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
