The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
