If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
