If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
