The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
