Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Fairfield building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
