Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
