What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
