What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Glengarry building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
