The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
