Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Kilbirnie building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built 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, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
