Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
