If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Kingston building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
