What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
