The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
