Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

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

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Fairfield building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
