What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Greenmeadows building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
