Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Grenada North building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
