Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
