Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
