The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
