Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
