What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house 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 homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
