What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

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

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
