It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Mayfair building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
