Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed 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 be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
