The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications 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 be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
