What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
