The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
