What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
