The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
