The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kingsley Heights building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
