We will conduct a thorough examination of your home as well as offer you with a fair and sincere comprehensive written report including photos of any troublesome areas for you to be sure that the house that you purchase can be described as being of the standard you expect.

A thorough inspection conducted by an Kingston building inspector usually is between one half, and two hours at the site. However, we allow a maximum of two hours to conduct our quality pre-purchase inspections in Kingston. Then, we spend a few additional hours to prepare the report.

Our reports are thorough, yet easy to understand in an effort to inform you as accurately as possible about your potential new property. You will be in a better negotiating position when you are completely in the know to make well-informed property decisions.

Don’t pay too much for a household that is going to give you headaches with potential issues in the future. We’re aware of where the most frequent issues occur and provide professional advice on how you can move forward.

Depending on what the results of a house inspection uncovers the home inspector may allow you to use a report to help negotiate with the seller over the cost or repairs. Even if a report finds minor issues, you are able to still use it as a road map to plan future maintenance.

Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
