The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
