Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Fairfield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
