If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Grenada North building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
