If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
