Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Lochain building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
