Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
