What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: 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 appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
