Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
