What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
