What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
