Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
