What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
