Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
