Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: 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 caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
