The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Grenada Village building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
