The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks 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 great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
