The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
