You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Fernhill building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
