What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
