The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
