The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Grenada North building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
