The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been 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 is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
