The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
