The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
