Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
