Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Lochain building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
