It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Greenmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have 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 are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
