It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
