The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
