What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
