The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
