Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
