What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
