The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
