The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
