Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
