Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
