What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
