What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
