The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
