The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
