Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance 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 due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
