Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
