What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Lochain building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
