Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Silverstream building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
