The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Fernhill building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
