What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Fairfield building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover 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 constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
