Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
