If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
