Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
