The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Greenmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
