The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
