Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Greenmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
