If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Mayfair building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
