What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
