The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Fairfield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
