What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Grenada North building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
