Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
