The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
