Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
