It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages 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 constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
