Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Fernhill building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
