Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
