The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to 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.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
