The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
