The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Greenmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
