What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
