What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects 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 is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
