The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
