Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
