What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
