What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Silverstream building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
