The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
