What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
