Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Lochain building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
