What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
