What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
