A Thorough Building & Home Inspection in Kingston

Peace of Mind

We will conduct an exhaustive examination of your home as well as provide you with a fair as well as sincere comprehensive written report and photos of any troublesome areas for you to be sure that the home you are buying will be of the standard you expect.

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

Our reports are thorough but easy to comprehend to provide you with as much information as possible regarding your prospective new property. You put yourself in a better position to negotiate when you are completely aware of your options to make educated real estate decisions.

Don’t overpay for an home that is going to give you headaches with future issues. We can pinpoint the areas where most issues occur and provide specialist advice on how you can proceed.

Depending on what an home inspection finds the home inspector may allow you use the report to help negotiate with the seller over the cost or repair. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a roadmap for any future maintenance.

The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
