Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
