Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are 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’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
