If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
