Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
