Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Greenmeadows building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
