Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Fernhill building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
