What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from 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 ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
