Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
