What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

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 future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
