Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
