Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Fernhill building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
