If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
