The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Kingston building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
