This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Fernhill

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
