Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into 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 around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
