What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
