Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Silverstream building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
