What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
