Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Kingston building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.
