Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
