What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Glengarry building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
