Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the 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 caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
