The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
