If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Fernhill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
