Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
