The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
