The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

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

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
