If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
