What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Silverstream building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
