The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
