If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
