Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are 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 expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Greenmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
