The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
