What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Glengarry building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
