Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
