The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
