The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
