The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
