The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified 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 can add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
