What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
