Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Greenmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
