Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Silverstream building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
