What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
