What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
