The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
