If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Fernhill building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
