The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
