If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingston building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
