What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
