Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. 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 expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Lochain building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
