If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
