Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
