Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Fairfield building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
