The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
