Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Kingston building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
