Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
