The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
