The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
