Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. 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 expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
