The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
