The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by 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

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

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