The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kingston building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of 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: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
