Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

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 areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
