Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Grenada Village building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
