What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
