What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
