Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten 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: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
