Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
