What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Lochain building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house 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

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
