The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Fairfield building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems 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 where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
