Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Silverstream building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are 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: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
