What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Greenmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
