What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Glengarry building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
