If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Lochain building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
