Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

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

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
