It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Fernhill building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
