Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
