The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kingsley Heights building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
