Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
