Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Silverstream building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
