Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Kingsley Heights building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
