Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Silverstream building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
