You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Kingsley Heights building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
