What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Lochain building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
