What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Kilbirnie building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
