Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until 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 installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
