It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
