Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
