What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
