Our reports are detailed yet understandable in an effort to inform you as accurately as imaginable regarding your prospective new home. You are in a better negotiating position when you are fully in the know to make well-informed property decisions.

Do not pay too much for the household that’s going to give you headaches with potential issues in the future. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems occur, and can offer specialist guidance on how to proceed.

According to what an home inspection reveals it is possible to utilise a report to assist you in negotiating with the vendor over price or repairs. Even if a report uncovers minor problems, you can still use it as a roadmap to plan future maintenance.

The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Mayfair building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
