What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Fairfield building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
