What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
