If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
