Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
