Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
