Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
