It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
