What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

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 potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
