The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Lochain building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
