Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kingsley-Chatham building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
