The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
