Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

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

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Lochain building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
