Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
