The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will identify any problems 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 offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
