What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Fernhill building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
