The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
