Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
