The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
