What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
