Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Grenada Village building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
