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

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Fernhill building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
