The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
