Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Lochain building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
