Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Silverstream building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
