What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Lochain building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
