Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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 cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
