If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
