Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
