The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
