What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
