Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Glengarry building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant 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 issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
