What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Grenada North building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
