The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
