Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Greenmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
