Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these 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 are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
