Why Are 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 friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
