Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
