The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Greenmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Greenmeadows

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
