Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the 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.
