The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
