The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
