Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
