The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
