Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Silverstream building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are 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 siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
