Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Kingsley Heights building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
