It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Mayfair building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
