If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
