What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Fernhill building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
