Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
