Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
