Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also 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 check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
