If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
