The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an 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 house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
