What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
