What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
