If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
