The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing 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 severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Kingsley Heights building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
