The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
