Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
