What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
