What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
