The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Lochain building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
