What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
