What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
