Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Kingston

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
