If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Mayfair building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
