Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Silverstream building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
