What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
