What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten 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: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
