Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
