If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
