Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
