The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major 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 house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
