What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
