Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Greenmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property 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, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
