Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Lochain building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
