You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
