If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kingsley Heights building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
