If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
