What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
