Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Fernhill building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
