If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
