Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Lochain building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
