Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
