If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, 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 could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
