The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
