The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kingsley Heights building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
