Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
