The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might 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 surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
