Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Fernhill building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
