Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Lochain building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
