The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
