The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house 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 cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are 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: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
