Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Grenada North building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
