What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by 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 ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
