Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
