The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
