Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
