Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
