Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
