Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
