If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Lochain building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. 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 that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
