What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
