Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Kingston building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
