Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues 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 that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
