It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Fernhill building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
