It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
