Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
