If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Grenada Village building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
