Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
