What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
