What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Fernhill building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
