Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
