The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Fernhill building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
