Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
