It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
