Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
