The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
