What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any 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 and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
