The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Silverstream building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
