Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
