Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: 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 found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
