If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Greenmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

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

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
