Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
