Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
