What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
