Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
