Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
