The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
