Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Silverstream building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
