The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
