What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Glengarry building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
