Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Grenada North building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
