If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building 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 search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
