The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Lochain building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
