If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
