Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
