If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Fernhill building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
