Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
