The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
