Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
