Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building 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 costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
