What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Greenmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
