Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
