What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kilbirnie building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
