Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
