Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Greenmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, 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 be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
