Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
