Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
