The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
