What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
