Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
