What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
