What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Grenada North building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to 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

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
