What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
