Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
