Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Silverstream building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
