Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
