Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built 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 the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
