What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase 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 the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
