Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
