The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
