Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
