The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Lochain building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
