If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Silverstream building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
