Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed 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. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
