What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
