The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
