The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Glengarry building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
