Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
