Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
