If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
