What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Silverstream building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
