If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Riverstone Terraces building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, 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 under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
