Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Grenada North building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
