What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Lochain building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
