Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Silverstream building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
