If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
