What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
