Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
