Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by 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 the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
