Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Kingsley Heights building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred 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: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
