If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Grenada North building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
