It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting 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 your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
