What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
