Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Lochain building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
