If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Fernhill building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
