Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
