Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
