Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
