The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
