Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
