Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
