If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
