What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
