Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
