Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Silverstream building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
