What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are 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 is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
