Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
