If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kingston building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
