What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
