Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

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

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
