What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Fernhill building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
