The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Grenada North building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
