Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Fernhill building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
