Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
