The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
