Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Lochain building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
