If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Glengarry building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
