Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any 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.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
