Do not pay too much for a home that’s likely cause you to have a headache with future problems. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems arise, and we can provide professional advice on how you can move forward.

Depending on what a house inspection reveals it is possible to use a report to aid in negotiations with the vendor over price or repairs. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a roadmap for the future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
