Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten 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 around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
