Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
