What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
