The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
