Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Glengarry building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" 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 can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
