What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
