If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Glengarry building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
