Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
