If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Lochain building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
