Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Fernhill building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
