Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
