Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Greenmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
