What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
