Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Kilbirnie building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Kilbirnie

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
