The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Lochain building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
