What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Silverstream building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
