Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Glengarry building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
