The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
