The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Grenada North building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
