Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
