It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Lochain building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
