The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
