What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Kilbirnie building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
