If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
