Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Greenmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should 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. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
