What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Silverstream building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
