Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
