If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
