Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
