If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant 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 any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
