Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
