What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
