If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt 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, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
