The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Fernhill building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
